Country Inc. (“Tuff Country” ) suspension products
are warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship for life if purchased, installed and

for a period of twelve (12) months, from the date of

or twelve thousand (12,000) miles (which ever occurs

improperly installed, maintained, used or repaired, or

(“Racing is used in its broadest sense, and, for
example, without regards to formalities in relation to
prizes, competition, etc.) This warranty is void if the
product is removed from the original vehicle and re-
installed on that or any other vehicle. This warranty
is exclusive and is in lieu of any implied warranty of

Important information that needs to be read and
understood before installation begins;
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends the
use of an 8” wheel once part # 14985 or 14986 has
been installed on a vehicle. If any wheel wider than a
8” wheel is used, rubbing on the inner fender wheel
and plastic valance will occur.
After the installation is complete, a front end
alignment is required. Also, some vehicles may need
to have an exhaust modification performed.
After completion of the installation and the new tires
and wheels have been installed, trimming of the
plastic valance may be needed. Slight trimming may
be needed when installing a 33 x 12.50.
If any tire larger than a 33 x 12.50 is installed in
conjunction with part # 14985 & 14986, the Tuff
Country warranty will be VOID.
Before installation begins, Tuff Country EZ-Ride
Suspension highly recommends that the installer
performs a test drive on the vehicle. During the test
drive, check to see if there are any uncommon
sounds or vibrations. If uncommon sounds or
vibrations occur on the test drive, uncommon
sounds or vibrations will be enhanced once the
suspension system has been installed. Tuff Country
EZ-Ride Suspension highly recommends notifying
the customer prior to installation to inform the
customer of these issues if they exist.
New longer front and rear shocks are needed after
this suspension system has been installed and the
front and rear shocks need to be ordered as a
separate part #. (Shocks are included with part #
14986) If you have not already ordered your front and
rear shocks, please feel free to contact Tuff Country
or your local Tuff Country dealer and order your
front and rear shocks.
Once the installation is complete and a front end
alignment has been performed, test drive the vehicle
to see if there are any front drive line vibrations. If
front drive line vibration occurs, take the front drive
line to a drive line shop and have the front drive line
re-balanced.
